    25 km per day?

    @Rita Flower Do the trees respond in English or Spanish, or is there a Google translate for 'whispers from nature' 😜

    Night Hikes / Star Gazing

    Intentionally walked from el Burgo Ranero to Leon during the night to "stargaze"; terrain flat (i.e. on road/asphalt) which allowed for continuous stargazing 🌃 , yes the sky was clear and stars were clearly visible, but nothing to write home about :-(

    25 km per day?

    For some it takes at least 20km to completely zone out, and the next 20-30km is where the magic happens 🤣

    Embarrassing moments

    Not really an embarrassing moment, bit more a realisation moment, that "life" is different on the Camino. First night in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port many years ago, and had to organise luggage transfer for a group of pilgrims . When I ask the owner of my accommodation if it was safe to leave...

    Embarrassing moments

    It's times like this, you politely mention that you are stone blind without your glasses/contacts on.

    Pilgrims menu/menu del dia

    There is a direct relationship between miles walked and food consumption/burning. Eating to excess is one of the main joys of the camino, that extra chocolate croissant and coffee before 11am equates to another hour of walking 😜. So I confess to walking 10+ hours daily 😆😆😆

    You can invite a companion on Camino, but you can't make them walk (in preparation)!

    Are you going to share this post with your sister before or after the Camino 🤭 Best of Luck, hope you have an amazing few days.

    How far do most typically walk before resting?

    Lots of great advice above. 👍 Would also consider the following (which I need to tattoo inside both eyelids). "never pass a rest stop" without assessing the state of your body and ensuring you have enough food and water onboard to get to the next stop. Never assume there is an open restaurant...

    How to donate a bench along the camino?

    Excellent idea @TreshaA2 , no doubt others have tried previously. Looking forward to positive feedback on the topic.🙏

    Personal Acts on The Camino

    Good luck climbing up the rocks after sunset. See coastal pictures https://www.pilgrimagetraveler.com/finisterre.html

    Is there any elitism between pilgrims taking different routes?

    Younger pilgrims notching up 40+km a day, hopefully in later years will return when time permits, relax, spend more time exploring and enjoying each village, the culture, the people, the food, the countryside and gain a whole new experience from the journey. I unfortunately was in that category...
